00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, November 18th.
00:00:05.580 Well, it didn't take President Trump long to start coming through on his campaign promises from the 2024 election.
00:00:12.360 President Donald Trump appears intent on making good on his promise to deport millions of illegal immigrants
00:00:17.200 that of course came into this country illegally and have no legal right to be here in the first place. 0.77
00:00:23.040 In a post on Truth Social over the weekend, President Trump confirmed a post by Judicial Watch President Tom Fenton,
00:00:28.460 which claimed President Trump would declare, quote, a national emergency in order to hit the ground running.
00:00:34.080 The tweet read, quote, good news.
00:00:36.220 Reports are coming in that real Donald Trump administration is preparing to declare a national emergency
00:00:40.140 and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.
00:00:46.020 End quote.
00:00:46.780 President Trump responding to that tweet from Fenton by saying, true.
00:00:50.660 So just one of the many campaign promises President Trump promised,
00:00:54.760 and it seems to be that he's going to come through on that promise.
00:00:57.800 Now, the mainstream media is absolutely melting down about it.
00:01:01.020 The mainstream media is saying you shouldn't be using the military for this type of thing.
00:01:05.160 But these are also the same folks that said we shouldn't have sent in the National Guard on January 6th.
00:01:10.340 Do you remember when President Trump wanted to send in the National Guard,
00:01:13.640 asked for it eight days before January 6th, and everyone said, no, no, no, bad optics?
00:01:19.800 Well, now with President Trump back in power, I think we're going to see things running a lot more efficient,
00:01:23.480 a lot more smoothly, and truth, justice, and the American way will prevail.
00:01:27.840 Meaning, we don't break the law, we don't recreate the law, we follow the law.
00:01:32.540 And I'm looking forward to President Trump doing just that.
00:01:36.120 President Trump also having some very unexpected visitors down at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend.
00:01:41.520 You're never going to guess who they were.
00:01:43.200 None other than MSNBC's, Marxist-run MSNBC's, I should say, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
00:01:51.360 When Mika announcing on today's show that they were down at Mar-a-Lago because they wanted to meet with President Trump,
00:01:56.760 they were worried about some of his cabinet picks and some other personnel picks.
00:02:01.860 I'm not entirely sure why President Trump took the meeting. 0.99
00:02:04.260 I would have told them to go to hell. 0.96
00:02:05.500 What they've done to this man over the last nine years, you know, calling him Hitler, you know, all that good stuff. 0.99
00:02:12.340 We can go down the list and spend an hour on this midday update talking about all the bad things they've done to President Trump over the last nine or so years.
00:02:19.780 Of course, before that, they were best friends with him.
00:02:21.760 They were down at Mar-a-Lago every weekend, kissing the ring.
00:02:25.000 Now they're trying to make their way back.
00:02:26.640 They say they want to do things differently this time around, but it doesn't appear that they've started coming around to not saying that they should be on Donald Trump's side or against Donald Trump,
00:02:38.060 but they should report the news as honestly as possible, which they obviously haven't done, folks, 0.96
00:02:44.120 which the ratings show and the American people are letting them know that they're not watching and tuning into their garbage network because all they spew is propaganda. 0.89
00:02:51.500 Nonetheless, interesting to see that Joe and Mika would want to go meet with Donald Trump, who they say is Hitler.
00:02:58.820 If I looked at somebody that poorly and that bad of a light, I would want nothing to do with them.
00:03:04.560 So it just, I think, goes to show you what they believe in their mind and what they go out on television and tell the American people.
00:03:13.280 A little bit of a distinction there, a little bit of a difference there.
00:03:16.280 I'll let you folks all make your own determination, but that's the way I see it.
00:03:20.260 And there's some news over at the Department of Justice.
00:03:23.240 You know that Department of Justice that's just filled with a bunch of great folks headed up by that great American Merrick Garland.
00:03:30.260 You know that fellow, that Department of Justice.
00:03:33.200 Well, apparently officials over at the FBI and the Department of Justice are hiring themselves criminal defense attorneys in anticipation of Donald Trump's return to the White House.
00:03:42.560 Now, why would you be doing that if you're just a good old law-abiding citizen, a great American?
00:03:48.980 Doesn't really make much sense.
00:03:50.880 According to a report from NBC News, senior members of both government agencies are panicking about the prospect of Donald Trump and his prospective attorney general, Matt Gaetz, coming into power.
00:04:01.860 Quote, everything we did was above board.
00:04:05.180 End quote, said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects himself to be prosecuted.
00:04:13.960 Hmm.
00:04:14.680 Why would you expect yourself to be prosecuted if you've done everything above board and we're doing your job and following the law?
00:04:22.440 Well, the official who spoke on a condition of anonymity, out of fear of becoming an eventual more of a target, doesn't believe any attempt to prosecute him will be successful.
00:04:32.440 Judges and juries have the power to throw out cases and find defendants innocent, of course, if they deem prosecutions to be baseless.
00:04:39.000 But like many other current and former DOJ officials, he's bracing for a potentially long and costly legal battle, of course, as well as any congressional investigations that will be open.
00:04:49.060 And it's very odd, folks, that these folks are now scrambling and having to hire attorneys.
00:04:55.420 And if we sit back and we think about what happened over the last four years and what they've done to the Trump officials, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to name two, Jeff Clark, a great friend of this show, and what they've done to these folks and how much money these folks have had to dish out of their own money, how much crowdfunding we've had to pay for these folks so they could defend themselves.
00:05:16.080 And by the way, I don't say that as a bad thing.
00:05:17.800 I'm happy to help these folks who have went out and put their life on the line for us to defend this great country.
00:05:22.940 But if you just think about all the bad that these Democrats have done and these career DOJ and FBI officials have done, and now they're scrambling and running like little rats to burrow because, according to them, they've done nothing wrong.
00:05:37.680 But if they've done nothing wrong deep down in their conscience, they wouldn't be hiring defense attorneys and getting ready for Donald Trump to return back to office.
00:05:45.000 It's a very simple equation, folks.
00:05:47.460 You follow the law.
00:05:49.100 You go about your business.
00:05:50.820 You don't do anything wrong.
00:05:52.820 And nobody comes after you.
00:05:54.580 The only time that you'd be ready for something like this is if you had a guilty conscience and you know you did something wrong.
00:06:01.440 So these people's days of reckoning are coming and very well deserved.
00:06:05.700 They shouldn't be getting away with what they've done.
00:06:07.560 And the families they've destroyed, the country they've destroyed, the democracy they've destroyed, and what they've done to President Trump, retribution is well warranted.
00:06:15.740 And I hope to God is on its way.
00:06:18.140 Folks, be sure to join us for today's episode.
00:06:21.060 Speaking of justice, we're joined by J6 attorney Joe McBride. 0.50
00:06:24.840 We sit down for almost a full hour and we talk about January Sixters and what's going to happen to them and the possible pardons coming for them on January 20th when President Trump comes back to office.
00:06:39.020 He ran on it.
00:06:40.140 He campaigned on it.
00:06:41.220 He defended these folks throughout the process.
00:06:42.980 So we're expecting a big week for the January Sixters come that January 20th week when President Trump's back in office.
00:06:50.040 I hope you'll join us for that full episode today on The Great America Show.
